DePriest

I was wondering if I could ask for some help regarding a genealogy question. I am a descendent of the DePriests that settled in Perry County and Hickman. My ancestor, Randolph “Randal” DePriest, moved to Perry County from South Carolina in the early 1800s. In the late 1800’s my grand grandfather moved to Arkansas.

I am interested in the "story" of Perry and Hickman County.

I am also descended from Randolph/Randal DePriest through Simpson then Katie who m. Asa Davidson Goodman. Do you have any information to share? I believe they lived on DePriest Branch on Hickman/Lewis Co line. Randolph is supposed to be buried in Cotham Cem on Cane Creek Rd in Lewis Co about 1/2 mile S of its intersection w/ Farmers Exchange Rd.

I posted a reply to your question about Randall Jim. It should be approved shortly. He was my great great great grandfather too!
